Many people have a license, yet they know nothing about the process.

Well reviewed and my  management processes in place. and one of the nice things, I am out-performing my neighbors and close competitors by 20%. all with only the knowledge from here and from Avery's book

I think you need a little more education and a mindset shift.Real estate investing is a fairly simple process.

Slowly build out a repeatable process...if you continue to change things (as in different types of properties, different levels of renovation, different finish material, different neighborhoods, etc.) you create more variables and make it harder to solve to the problem.I am a math guy and less unknowns/variables you have the easier the problem will be to solve. 

I can't speak to that myself, it's not my specialty but I think that would be one of your biggest concerns is their permit processes. 

The goal is to change careers to something that allows me to decide my hours (in the process of now), become a landlord, and finally spend more time with my kids and family. 

Hi community, I'm in the process of acquiring my first STR property in Joshua Tree and have met with a co-host that I really liked.

I’m still learning about the process but a Construction-to-Permanent looks attractive if owner-occupied terms could apply.

Generally, no.I've done one myself so I know the process and ins-and-outs pretty well. 

Selling individually, i would get the most profit but it is 4 times the closing fees and a longer process.
